Vintage Mele Automatic Cantilever Jewelry Box Gold Faux Leather

This authentic 1960s/1970s vintage Mele jewelry box features a beautiful mid-century Hollywood Regency style in a textured gold faux leather finish. This chest is engineered with Mele's iconic automatic cantilever system—as soon as you lift the top lid, the integrated side mechanics automatically glide the upper grid tray backward and slide the deep bottom drawer forward. This gives you an instant, full visual layout of your entire collection without needing to lift out individual components. The interior is lined in an elegant peach/gold satin and matching velvet fabric, complete with 8 necklace hanging hooks, a ruched storage pouch, and 12 individual storage compartments for rings, earrings, and bracelets. Condition Details Mechanical Function: The automatic cantilever glide mechanism is fully intact, smooth, and works perfectly when the lid is lifted. The front clasp latches securely. Interior & Lining: Excellent, near-pristine interior condition with zero fabric tearing, sagging, or major jewelry staining. Exterior Wear: The gold faux leather exterior shows honest vintage character, including some minor surface staining, small indentations, and light scuffs on the top lid section as pictured. Hardware: The original tiny metal key is missing, though the box opens and closes perfectly without it. Pickup in Silversprings
